The first lecture is scheduled for 18 May. John R. Higgins, first counsellor in the New Zealand Hamilton Mission Presidency for the Church will be the featured speaker. His address, titled, “From Small and Simple Things,” will focus on local Latter-day Saint as well as general Waikato and New Zealand histories.
Latter-day Saints place a strong emphasis on learning, preserving and sharing personal, family and general histories. In Latter-day Saint scripture, Church members are asked to “obtain a knowledge of history, and of countries, and of kingdoms, of laws of God and man…” (Doctrine and Covenants 93:53).
